Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard and lands midrange engine led by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan uses self-mill to load the graveyard with lands and high-impact creatures, turning the graveyard into an accessible second hand. Teval attacks to ramp lands back onto the battlefield while generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck accelerates in the early turns using efficient ramp and self-mill enablers like Grisly Salvage and Life from the Loam. In the mid game, redundant recursion engines such as Six, Conduit of Worlds, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide provide continuous board presence and card flow. The deck closes games around Turn 8 by swarming opponents with an evasive token army powered by Avenger of Zendikar and Wonder, or by sacrificing massive creatures like Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to drain all opponents simultaneously.
